So with the new release today when I went to login Firefox gave me the new popup that said the username and password fields are not secure. So why is that? Shouldn't MozillaZine be using HTTPS instead of just HTTP? I did notice the padlock in the address bar with the line through it before, but the popup really brought it to my attention. I feel very insecure logging in on a non HTTPS site.

As for feeling very insecure? Just know the risk and take some simple steps to protect yourself. All the usual advice applies. Plus, - don't log in when you're connected to an untrusted network, such as any shared WiFi you don't control, or a network you don't know the admin. - And make sure that your password is very different from those you use on HTTPS sites.

Do that and you can feel better, you'll be fine.

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Yeah this is a strange situation ... when mozilla tries to make firefox more secure. A forum about firefox has no security at all ... Now i have to send my password unencrypted over the internet Randomly generated for just this website ... but still. Certificates are free these days, and installation shouldn't be too difficult ..
